    Unable to load/extract update for 15.0.4

    When trying to update my SkyView 10 Classic to version 15.0.4, the loading process got stuck with the extract process bar at 54 %. When I rebooted the screen image was very garbled. After another reboot it came up OK, but still with version 14.1.1 firmware. Any thoughts?

    Terrain file download failing

    I´m having problems trying to download terrain file for Europe. I´m using a Mac and have tried several times each with Safari, Firefox and Chrome. The file size is about 2.5 GB, but the download invariably fails after downloading between 1.4 and 1.7 GB. Anyone else having the same problem?

    Missing data on new terrain file for Europe

    Loaded one of my two SkyView screens with the new terrain file for Europe yesterday. During flight I could compare the old and the terrain between the two screens and was disappointed to learn that the new database is missing major lakes and rivers. It showed dry land where the old database...

    Intercom interference from autopilot servos

    I recently had my two 10 inch SkyView panels factory updated with the latest engineering changes. After the update, there is now a significant humming noise in the headsets when the AP servos are switched on. When power to the servos is switched off, the noise disappears. Before the update...

    Documentation for the .dfg file

    I need to make a few changes to the EMS widgets on my 20 % screen. Is there any documentation available that explains the settings/parameters for the various widgets in the .dfg file. I would also be interested in documentation for the map settings in the same file.

    Quick update to version 3.3.2

    It appears that the two files for quick download and full download, respectively, are the same. Same name and same size. What gives?

    Noise

    My 10' SkyView displays create quite a bit of noise in the headsets. The noise is particularly strong on boot-up. I am not talking about popping or clicking noises, but a fairly constant hum. I have a pair of Lightspeed Zulus connected to a PM3000 intercom. I have installed the filters to the...

    No VRPs with Jeppesen Europe database

    I installed version 3.3. today and was looking forward to VRPs showing up on the map. Unfortunately, they didn't. VRPs do show up on my Garmina aera 500 which also derives its navdata from Jeppesen. Any idea why they're missing on SkyView?

    Serial port configuration for Garmin aera

    I have a Garmin aera 500 connected to Skyview via an NMEA interface. The Garmin transmits at 4800 baud and if the port is configured as a generic NMEA interface the correct speed can be set. However, if the port is set up by selecting GARMIN AERA from the list, the speed defaults to 9600 baud...

    Missing ground track readout in North up mode

    The digital ground track readout disappears when switching the map mode to North up. I prefer this mode, but I find the lack of ground track data a big minus. Am I missing a setting which lets you display the ground track even in North up mode?

    Magenta colored air space and course line

    When flying in and around class C and D airspace which has magenta colored boundary outlines, it is often difficult to spot the course line to a waypoint which has the same color. Is there any chance you can change the color of the course line to a more distinguishable color in the next release?

    Autopilot Nav mode

    I have a system with two 10 inch SkyView screens and SV32 servos. I also have a Garmin aera 500 connected to the system which I use as my primary GPS source for flight planning and tracking. When I track a course to a waypoint and have the autopilot set in Nav mode, it will work fine for about...

    Screen shots

    When doing a screenshot using the 2+7 key combination to a USB memory stick, the system only allows one shot. When attempting a second shot, I get an error message. I forget the exact text, but it is something to the effect "Memory stick full". I've tried it with both Dynon's 4GB stick and my...

    North up and heading arc

    I changed the map orientation to "North up" today. This makes most of the top of the heading arc to disappear, including the digital ground track read-out. This problem occurs in both the 50 % and 100 % screen views. What gives?

    DX15 hand held radio

    Congratulations on releasing the DX15 which should be a winner. Before I order mine, I need to know whether the AC Adapter/Charger handles 220V 50 Hz for Europe. The spec sheet doesn't make any mention about this.

    GPX flight plan import

    After upgrading to 3.1, I wanted to import a flight plan created with Skydemon saved as a GPX-file. When I load the file in Skyview only the name of the destination airport appears on the route list. All intermediate waypoints are missing and so is information about distance and course. Has...

    Turn anticipation

    One of the new features of release 3.1 is described as "SkyView can be set up to provide turn anticipation between flight plan legs." Will the autopilot follow these turns without having an external device, such as the Garmin 430, to provide GPS Steering commands?
